Study Skills Made Practical
With its graphic presentation and relatively few words, this series provides all students, including those with learning difficulties, with study techniques and skills to help lift academic achievement. In line with the school year, the guide moves from initial topics such as how we learn, attitudes to learning, goal-setting and note-taking through to such matters as developing routines for everyday study (including summarising notes, researching, and assignment and essay writing) and how to study for and sit tests and examinations. The multi-purpose resource can be used to complement various curriculum demands or as a ready reference for ideas on how to structure learning experiences, such as essay writing.
Ages: 12-16 years
